Matts_12GS Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Well, since we're finally talking my language (beer).... Sierra Nevada is finishing construction on their new brewery located in Mills River NC, within easy riding distance of Maggie Valley. They are currently conducting Hard Hat Tours of the new facility, which is close to opening. They recommend scheduling a time slot to do the visit, anybody interested? I could be persuaded. I love the breweries. Well if you guys aren't drinking beer, I won't either. Sierra Nevada sucks as bad as canadian beer, eh? Link to comment
tjsven Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Any recommendations of a good place to tent camp for the FART 2014? Link to comment
jbr7t Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Any recommendations of a good place to tent camp for the FART 2014? HillBilly Campground is just down the road. Several folks are planning to stay there. Link to comment
jbr7t Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 To Aeroflow or Not to Aeroflow..That is the question? I can't decide. Currently I've got the stock windscreen on the GS. Now i'm torn. I've got about an 8-10 hour ride to and from the FART. While I plan to do some off-road while there and the Aeroflow isn't exactly on offroad set up. I'm wondering if the "comfort" benefits of it on the to/from outweigh the little bit of off road. Link to comment
Foot Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Say, you wouldn't happen to be bringing a few of your Hefe's, would you? Yours are sooooo good! I'd gladly pay you later for a Hefe today! Why yes, I will be. Would you put me down for one of those Hefe's! Link to comment

marcopolo Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Woo hoo! We have a Canadian contingent coming! That's right, eh? In fact three of us are meeting up in Front Royal on Wednesday morning (Rod, me and Endobobdds from D.C.). So there's no confusion, Bob from D.C. is not a Canadian, but we might make him an honourary citizen for the ride down and back. Link to comment

I usually hand them out on Saturday night at the dinner, but we may be more scattered this year since we're going to Oktoberfest. I'll have them on my bike in the parking lot, so just see me at some point over hte weekend.

Kinsley Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Just a reminder that FART is happening on the 1st weekend of Leaf Peeper season. If you plan to ride the BRP, especially around Asheville, I would suggest doing it Thursday or Friday rather than Saturday or Sunday. After 10:00 it can be dangerous and boring all at the same time The stars are aligning for a Wednesday arrival for me....maybe I'll catch Bernie along the way Link to comment

Fathom Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Ahhh, the Russian nesting doll theory of sociology; gotta love the conundrum. What is that theory of the empirical method that talks about the effect that the subjects have on those doing the watching? And what if those doing the watching are flora? Of course, that implies sentience on the part of plants (and I don't want to get into a Zappa "Call any vegetable, people" digression, so I'll stick with the inverse and just provide a link to the current FART fall foliage forecast, which is looking pretty good right now... http://www.romanticasheville.com/fall.htm Link to comment
